From: Edge effect pinning in mesoscopic superconducting strips with non-uniform distribution of defects
A strip with reduced inclusion density at both edges lin = 10ξ, lout = 30ξ, f = 0.2, and B = 0.1Hc2. The average critical current \({J}_{{\rm{c}}}^{{\rm{both}}}=0.14{J}_{{\rm{dp}}}\) is 28% larger compared to Fig. 3. The Jx(y) dependence has much more pronounced features near the edges. These oscillations in the current are generated by (free) vortex rows in the region of low inclusion density.
